The structure, which will cross the Vena River without support pillars, will have a length of 217 meters and an elevation of 16 above the existing bridge
The Spanish company Ayesa has been selected in charge of the structural design of one of the most complex bridges that the Nagpur metro, in India, will have. It is a cantilever bridge that will cross the Vena River, with a length of 271 meters and which will be located 16 meters above another existing one.
The project carried out by MahaMetro will be part of the Hingna corridor, within the framework of Phase 2 of the metro. It will be built without intermediate pillars, thanks to an advanced technique that allows the segments to extend outward from both ends of their supports. This new technique will allow the natural course of the river to be maintained.
Ayesa is responsible for the detailed structural design of the bridge for contractor M/s Kalpataru Projects Interntion Limited, ensuring compliance with international engineering standards. Additionally, it will provide technical design support to the contractor and MahaMetro throughout the development of the project.
With a construction timeline of 18 months, once operational, this structure is expected to redefine connectivity along the Hingna corridor, providing faster, safer and more reliable metro trips to thousands of daily passengers.
